This book addresses the continued lack of the diversity in
veterinary medicine, the least inclusive of all medical
professions. Effective navigation of the complexity of diversity
and inclusion in veterinary medicine requires clear enumeration,
recognition, and understanding of key issues, challenges, and
opportunities. In a nation with rapidly changing demographics,
public needs and expectations of the veterinary profession will
continue to evolve. A more diverse scientific workforce is required
to feed the veterinary profession, not just for the purposed of
equity, but as necessity for its sustainability and relevance.The
book lays out the history of diversity in the veterinary
profession, in the context of historical changes and actions within
US society. An overview of selected strategies from dental,
pharmacy, and (human) medical schools is then offered. The impact
of social constructs on career interest development is explored
using the examples of race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender
identity. Practical strategies for attracting preschool through
undergraduate students to careers in the veterinary profession are
presented, as well as metrics and tools to assess the impact of
diversity and inclusiveness strategies. A systems approach to
diversity and inclusiveness in the veterinary profession is called
for in a manner that frames barriers as opportunities for
improvement and progress. There is much that needs to happen to
achieve professional inclusiveness and cultural competency, but the
path to achieving this is clear. System-wide commitment, planning,
execution, and continuous assessment will position the profession
to better suit the population of the nation and the world that will
be served. This is book is a call to action for consistent
championship and cohesive approaches, and it provides a road map to
building a sustainably inclusive future.
